GYOZA (POT STICKERS)
This is a delicious recipe I got from my mamasan when I lived in Okinawa. Everyone raves over them. Store extra dipping sauce in the refrigerator up to 1 week and use to dip chicken or other meats or vegetables.

Steps:
- Heat 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat; add curry paste. Cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add cabbage, carrot, and 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic; cook and stir until cabbage is wilted and moisture has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; allow to cool.
- Mix pork, egg, 1/4 cup green onions, water chestnuts, ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, and brown sugar together in a bowl. Stir in cabbage mixture.
- Whisk together rice vinegar, low-sodium soy sauce, 1/3 cup green onions, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 clove garlic, and chili paste. Let dipping sauce flavors meld for at least 15 minutes before serving.
- Separate and place gyoza wrappers onto your work surface. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the filling onto the center of each wrapper. Use your finger or a pastry brush to lightly moisten edges of wrappers with water. Fold one side of the wrapper over the filling onto the opposite side to form a crescent-shaped gyoza. Press edges together to seal.
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook half the gyoza until lightly browned, about 1 minute per side. Pour 1/4 cup broth into skillet; reduce heat and cover. Steam until broth evaporates and gyoza are translucent, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining oil, gyoza, and broth.

PORK AND GINGER POT STICKERS
Steps:
- Sprinkle cabbage with the 1/2 tablespoon of salt and let stand for 30 minutes. Place the cabbage on a clean dishtowel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any water. The dryer the cabbage the better. In a large bowl thoroughly mix the cabbage with all of the other ingredients, except the chicken stock. Cook a tester to check the seasoning.;

- In a stainless steel bowl mix flour and salt. Slowly add hot water to flour in 1/4 cup increments. Mix with chopsticks until a ball is formed and the dough is not too hot to handle. On a floured surface, knead dough until it becomes a smooth, elastic ball. Place back in bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rest for at least 1 hour. Working on a floured surface with floured hands, roll out dough to form a long 'noodle', 1-inch in diameter. Cut 1/2-inch pieces and turn them over so the cut sides are facing up. Flatten with your palm and roll out thin using a rolling pin. The dumpling wrapper should end up about 3 inches in diameter.
- MAKING THE DUMPLINGS: Place a small mound of filling in the middle of the wrapper. (Be very careful not to touch the edges with the filling as this will impede proper sealing of the dumplings. Nothing is worse than dumplings breaking during cooking.) Fold the wrapper in half to form a half moon shape. Starting on one end fold/pinch the wrapper tightly together. Proceed with this fold/pinch method until the dumpling is completely sealed. There will be approximately 10 to 14 folds per dumpling. Rest the dumplings with the folded edges straight up.
- COOKING THE DUMPLINGS: In a hot saute pan coated well with oil, place pot stickers flat side down and cook until the bottom is browned. Have pan cover ready and add 1 cup of chicken stock, cover immediately. Be careful, the liquid will splatter! The stock will steam the pot stickers. Check them in 5 minutes as more stock may be needed. The trick here is that once the dumplings are firm and fully cooked the stock will evaporate and the bottoms will crisp-up again.
- Combine all and serve in a small bowl.
- PLATING: Serve pot stickers on a large platter lined with lettuce with a bowl of dipping sauce on the side.

Steps:
- In large bowl, toss together cabbage and 3/4 teaspoon salt and set aside for 30 minutes. Transfer to clean dish towel or cheesecloth, gather ends together, and twist to squeeze out as much water as possible. Wipe bowl clean, then return cabbage to it. Add pork, ginger, carrots, scallions, and garlic and stir to combine.
- In small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, and egg, then stir into cabbage-pork mixture. Stir in pepper and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt.
- On dry surface, lay out 1 gyoza wrapper, keeping remaining wrappers covered with dampened cloth or paper towel. Spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons filling into center, then moisten halfway around edge with wet finger. Fold moisture-free half of wrapper over moistened half to form open half-moon shape. To seal, using thumb and forefinger of one hand, form 6 tiny pleats along unmoistened edge of wrapper, pressing pleats against moistened border to enclose filling. Moistened border will stay smooth and will automatically curve in semicircle. Stand dumpling, seam-side up, on baking sheet and gently press to flatten bottom. Cover loosely with dampened cloth or paper towel. Form remaining dumplings in same manner.
- In 10-inch, lidded, non-stick skillet over moderately high heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking, then remove from heat and arrange pot stickers in tight circular pattern standing up in oil (they should touch one another). Cook, uncovered, until bottoms are pale golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, tilting skillet to distribute, then cover tightly with lid and cook until liquid has evaporated and bottoms of dumplings are crisp and golden, 7 to 10 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons more water if skillet looks dry before bottoms are browned. Remove lid and cook, shaking skillet to loosen pot stickers, until steam dissipates, 1 to 2 minutes. Invert large plate with rim over skillet. Using pot holders, hold plate and skillet together and invert skillet. Remove skillet and serve pot stickers warm.
PORK GYOZA (POT STICKER DUMPLINGS)
These fried, then steamed, dumplings are incredibly morish- I have eaten 12 and looked for more! The portion below makes about 45-50 dumplings. I normally freeze half of the mixture. It never stays in the freezer too long! If you have ginger oil, add it to the frying oil for extra flavour.

Steps:
- Mix the pork, spring onions, ginger, egg, chili sauce, soy sauce and seasame oil in a food processor. This is your dumpling filling.
- Wet the edges of the dumpling wrappers with water, put a dollop of filling in the center and press and fold the edges together to seal.
- Heat the vegetable oil for frying- you can also add a few drops of ginger and sesame oil to this for extra flavour. About 2 tablespoons in total is ample.
- Fry about 12 dumplings at a time in the oil, turning to brown. When they have been frying for about 2 minutes, add 0.5 cup of water to the pan and cook until the water is absorbed. I normally cover the pan for the first two minutes of this cooking time to ensure they are well steamed.
- Remove and served with the dipping sauce.
- For the sauce:.
- Combine the sauce ingredients and garnish with the chopped ginger.
